TV Show Review - Brooklyn 99

Brooklyn 99 is no doubt one of the best and coolest TV shows of this past decade!

If you haven't seen it before, I would be telling you to ask yourself "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" and to watch it online, however maybe just read my review first to get a better idea of why it's so great in a nutshell.

Brooklyn 99 follows the main character Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), as he solves police cases with his friends in the 99th Precinct of Brooklyn, New York.

He works with his great friends;

  • Det. Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), who he shares a friendly rivalry with
  • Det. Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), the mysterious motorbike riding cool girl
  • Det. Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Trugilo), his loyal and number one best friend
  • Det. Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller), lazy guys who sit all day
  • Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti) - the humorous assistant who loves tweeting her brutal thoughts 
  • Sergeant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), a family oriented guy who loves yoghurt
  • Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), his serious boss that doesn't like his childish like nature

The mixture of this group brings so many great moments in their detective work that will make you laugh, cry and even laugh cry! You should watch some of their funniest quotes from season 1 - mild spoilers.

Brooklyn 99 has 7 amazing seasons of 20 minute episodes, where season 7 finished showing and season 8 is in production. You can easily find the first 6 seasons on streaming sites such as Netflix and the most recent season 7 on SBS Demand, but it has a 30 day expiry so you better hop on quick.

NINE-NINE!

Rating - a definite 10/10

Video Game Review - Super Mario Odyssey

Image
Super Mario Odyssey is the newest 3D game in the Super Mario Series. It came out in 2017 for the console the Nintendo Switch (2017) with great feedback from fans worldwide.  The game follows a similar storyline to most Mario games, where Princess Peach is captured by Bowser and Mario has to save her, but this time, Bowser plans to marry Princess Peach. To save her, Mario must travel on an airship to different Kingdoms, where he must collect moons to power up and continue his adventure! This was a surprising change as many games in the Mario series require stars instead, such as Super Mario 64 (1996) and shine sprites in Super Mario Sunshine (2002). Alongside his journey, Mario is paired with his new companion Cappy, which is his sentient hat that allows him to capture different enemies' spirits and control them using special abilities. I personally enjoyed the game, as it had a wide sandbox like feeling to each Kingdom, allowing you to explore every inch. A difference is

Music Review - Everglow by Coldplay

Everglow (2015) Oi mates, This week, I am back with a review of one of my favourite songs from my favourite band, British Alternative/Rock band Coldplay’s 2015 single Everglow , the final single from their 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams. Compared to the remaining tracks of one of the more upbeat Coldplay albums, Everglow is the slowest song, with the primary melody provided by piano. Like the majority of Coldplay songs, there can be many interpretations of the song, however the most popular interpretation is the song being about loving and reminiscing about the people we have lost touch with. This is another lyrical sensation by the band, with the lyrics being delicate and touching, scattered with imagery that gives the song its soul. The combination of the lyrics and the instrumental part also conveys the emotions of the song effectively, as the song goes from a piano melody accompanied by slow drum beats to its climax where the guitar comes in, before the song ends

TV Show Review - Black Mirror

TV Show Review ‘Sup mates, today’s blog will be on the Netflix TV series Black Mirror . Although I am a terribly impatient person that is not capable of following a series, Black Mirror is the one series that I have not missed a single episode.  Premiered in 2011, Black Mirror is a British dystopian science fiction anthology series whose setting is often in the future or the alternative present. The episodes are independent to one another and the general themes are dark and satire. The series showcases the future with unanticipated consequences of new technologies. According to the series creator Charlie Brooker, the name Black Mirror refers to the screens of technological devices, and there is a dark and scary vibe attached to the name, which suits the content and the theme of the show. The show has run for five seasons, together with a Christmas special and an interactive film, and is still being renewed. What I like about Black Mirror is firstly the
